Which 'P' links Adam, Delibes and Messager?Comment
-
I don't see any commonly-named P works with these three, though I notice that Adam and Delibes both have Corsaire ballets so we could be talking about pirates if I can find one in Messager
apart from that I might need a clueComment
-
There was presumably a full house on each occasion. and nobody started a riot.
Comment
-
Messager wrote musical comedies for Sacha Guitry and Yvonne Printemps
Delibes wrote Au Printemps for 3 voices
and Adam ................ is this Adolphe Adam ... ?Comment
-
Oui, Alphonse Adam (1836 and 1841).Comment
-
sorry, I'm getting nowhere
the only Alphonse Adam I can find is a twentieth century prince
I can't connect printemps to Adam and printemps may not even be the word
but I am going now, shall see you anon ................
